Would you buy a 12-14 year old Integrated?

My local dealer has a McIntosh 6900 integrated amp for sale from original customer.  I'd like to know if you would be comfortable buying a model that is 12-14 years old and if SS equipment can lose SQ over time?  The price is right and I've wanted to try McIntosh.  Not really a post about the love or hate of McIntosh, but whether vintage gear can still be quality.  I'd like it to be my last Integrated purchase.  

On a side note, the price is right, but that said, for about $800 more, I could get into the MA7900.  What are your thoughts?

If it's a Krell, a Mark Levinson, a Simaudio Moon, or a Bryston, I probably would.

If it's anything made in China or Japan (unless it's an insanely good design)?

No.
